Abstract
We consider the problem of transmitting a source over an
infinite-bandwidth additive white Gaussian noise channel with unknown
noise level under an input energy constraint. We construct a universal
scheme that uses modulo-lattice modulation with multiple layers; for
each layer, we employ either analog linear modulation or analog pulse
position modulation (PPM). We show that the designed scheme with linear
layers requires less energy compared to existing solutions to achieve
the same quadratically increasing distortion profile with the noise
level; replacing the linear layers with PPM layers offers an additional
improvement.
